What the AI looks for in Slacklines
- Webbing width
- 2-inch webbing is easiest for beginners; 1-inch is for longer or more technical lines Wider webbing is more stable underfoot.
- Tensioning
- Choose a ratchet with a safety backup or long ratchet handle A ratchet makes tensioning simple, and a backup prevents a dangerous release.
- Tree protection
- Always pad the anchors with tree protectors on healthy trees of adequate thickness Protection prevents bark damage and is required in many parks.
- Length
- Start short and low, about 15–50 feet Shorter lines sag less and are easier to learn on.
Brands that matter
- Gibbon: Leading slackline brand with beginner and trick kits.
- Slackers: Family and backyard slackline kits.
What to avoid
- Kits without tree protection
- Rigging high off the ground for beginners
- Using climbing anchors and gear for slackline tension without proper knowledge
